Rest is Essential! Beginning in November 2020, I kept getting messages from Spirit that I needed to rest. I began a journey over the last couple months of reflecting on what rest means to me, how much rest I really need, and what I wasn't doing when I was distracting myself with endless events. 

I hope these reflections help you understand more about the role of rest in your life and what you might be able to let go of in order...
